The Minstermen are back at the LNER Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon when we take on Ebbsfleet United in a big game in the Vanarama National League.
Having taken on Rochdale last weekend away from home, Neal Ardley’s side head into this fixture unbeaten in their last three National League games, having secured one win and two draws over recent weeks.
This weekend’s visitors travel up to North Yorkshire hoping to secure a crucial three points which could see them move out of the relegation zone and above the Minstermen in the National League table.
Inconsistent form of late has seen Dennis Kutrieb’s side lurk near the bottom-end of the league table for the majority of the first-half of the season, having only won twice in 20 games in all competitions since they beat the Minstermen 4-1 at the Kuflink Stadium at the start of September.

Hospitality
We are pleased to announce that Keith Houchen will join Iain Dunn as our hospitality guest for Saturday’s fixture.
Houchen joined the Minstermen in March 1984 and played his part at the end of the 1983/84 campaign as he helped the club secure promotion to the 3rd Division.
Over the next two seasons, he became a key goalscorer for the club, with him finishing as top-scorer for the Minstermen during the 1984/85 season after scoring 18 times. Minstermen fans will know Houchen well after he netted the winning goal in the club’s iconic 1-0 win over Arsenal at Bootham Crescent in the 4th Round of the FA Cup.
After leaving York City partway through the 1985/86 campaign, he joined Scunthorpe United before going on to play for the likes of Coventry City, Port Vale and Hartlepool United.
Hospitality bookings have now closed for this fixture.
Doors open at 12:30pm for Hospitality guests on Saturday afternoon.

This increases the frequency of buses running between Stonebow in the City Centre and the Monks Cross Park & Ride stop, as well as freeing up capacity on the existing number 9 route.
Fans wishing to use the service will need to purchase the Y22 tickets from the First Bus app, which are priced at:
- Adult return: £3.50
- Child/Concessionary return: £2
- Adult single: £2
